Hello!
We have basically finished the planning now. I’d be interested in your opinions.
I have attached the ground floor and first floor plans. The basement is pretty straightforward: fitness room, workshop, office, utility room.
A few points we have thought about for a while:
Open staircase.
We have seen this in real life and really like it. It opens up the spatial feeling a bit. The downside I see is noise transmission from the living/dining area to the children’s bedrooms/bedrooms. I think we can live with that, but we have planned it so that a drywall partition could still be added on the ground floor.
Main entrance facing north, carport on the south side.
The reason is this: originally, the carport was planned along the rear property line. However, I’m concerned about costs if the entire driveway needs to be paved. That would be nearly 200sqm (2,150 sqft). What would something like that cost? Also, fees are charged for sealed surfaces. Or does anyone have a practical idea?
We had also considered placing the main entrance on the east side, but then the hallway/utility room layout became unattractive.
Living room size
There are about 3.5 meters (11.5 feet) to the wall. We’ve arranged our living room furniture accordingly and think it’s sufficient. Otherwise, the planned wardrobe with floor-to-ceiling sliding doors in the entrance area would have to be removed.
The conservatory is not really a conservatory, but rather an enclosed terrace with glass sliding doors.
Best regards,
Daniel

EveundGerd27 Jan 2016 11:37Pasta and rice packaged in plastic do not attract moisture.
Canned or bottled goods don’t either.
Salt, sugar, and flour ... okay, we store those in our apothecary cabinet.
It’s really just a matter of personal preference. 😉

daniels8727 Jan 2016 13:11We have plenty of items that definitely suffer from moisture.
I like to buy in bulk, which then stays open for a month or two.
That’s, in my opinion, the whole point of a pantry 😉
Because I hate producing a pile of packaging waste every time I cook. Also, herbs and such are hanging there to dry.
Spices can quickly become breeding grounds for salmonella.

EveundGerd27 Jan 2016 14:29Ok. That’s something different.
I have a different way of storing supplies.
We mostly use herbs fresh, or they are bought dried and stored dry in my drawer next to the stove.
We only buy flour and similar items as needed. We don’t like to leave them out in the open. I just pat the product dry then.

The walk-in closet is now gone, but we’re still undecided about whether we want it.
The utility room has a different layout.

That’s, in my opinion, the whole point of having a storage pantry 😉For storing supplies, you have a basement, which should be cooler than the ground floor.
Food storage within our modern new builds no longer works well – even if you call the room a pantry.
You just have to face the facts and not compare it to grandma’s or mom’s pantries in older houses.
Otherwise, I like the simple, straightforward floor plan 🙂
